Jenny Carrieri admits she has lost time with her husband and children while consumed in her sister's case. Carrieri told CBS News' Errol Barnett that no one knew her twin sister better than she did. On a snowy March day in 1996 LeCornu went to a bar with some friends after a fight with her boyfriend. Around 4 a.m. she gave someone a ride home, bought more alcohol and made phone calls from a store parking lot.

"That whole night was very out of character for her," Carrieri said. "She never would have done that. Gone to sit in a dark parking lot."

According to police, a witness at a gas station saw a man in a white BMW approach LeCornu's car. The two spoke but as LeCornu began to drive away, the suspect shot her through her car's rear passenger window – severing her spine. LeCornu then somehow drove across the street.

Jennifer Carrieri was born two minutes after her twin, Jody LeCornu. From that point on, the two sisters were inseparable.

They shared the same room growing up. They hung out with the same friends. As adults, they racked up costly phone bills from talking to each other every day. In family photos, they're always seen side by side, sporting their dirty blonde hair in the same hairstyles. Despite their similarities, it's often easy to tell who is who: LeCornu, known as the "strong" twin, always flashes a wide grin, while Carrieri, the "shy" twin, wears a fainter smile.

From The Washington Post

Someone knows why Jody LeCornu was sitting in her white Honda Civic, making phone calls from an empty shopping center parking lot in Towson, Md., at 3:40 a.m. on a cold Saturday in early March 1996. Someone knows who drove up to LeCornu’s car, spoke to her and then fired one shot from behind her, the bullet smashing the left rear passenger window, slicing through the driver’s seat and then into her back. And someone knows the identity of the stocky man who approached her car again -- after she drove across the street to another shopping center on York Road -- as it idled against a curb, reached in and pulled something out, then drove away in a white BMW.

The City of Baltimore is no exception when it comes to open homicide cases.

The Land of the Unsolved explores the mysterious, nefarious and unresolved killings that remain caught in the murky shadows of the city’s conflicted psyche.

Investigative reporters Stephen Janis and Taya Graham go beyond the evidence, talking with homicide detectives, reporters, relatives and residents and exploring the often trenchant politics and communal chaos that feeds the vicious cycle of unavenged violence and murder cases left unsolved that continue to haunt the city and its residents.landoftheunsolved.com

TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) — The family of a Towson University student killed in a shooting in the late 90s has more than tripled the reward to find her killer, two decades after she was murdered.

On a snowy day in 1996, police were called to an intersection on York Road at 4 a.m. to investigate the death of Jody LeCornu.

Twenty years later, her family is still desperate for closure.

Less than a mile from a decades-old crime scene. a high-hung billboard boasts an equally high reward for the truth — $100,000 to whomever can solve the 1996 murder of Towson University student Jody LeCornu.

“We’re just really excited about this. I mean we’re really just trying to keep her story out there,” said Jenny Carrier, LeCornu’s sister.

The new reward — more than triple the standing offer before — put forth by anonymous donors and Jody’s identical twin sister.

Carrieri has been relentless in the search for the killer for more than two decades.

“We were two minutes apart, identical. I mean, it took a lot of years for me just to even truly function after she died,” she said.

The nightmare for Jody began after a night out at the Washington Tavern in the early morning hours of March 2, 1996 — just steps from the city/county line.

Police said Jody was shot in the back while in her car in a parking lot in York Road Plaza. The suspect reached into her car after the shooting and took something.

Witnesses described the shooter as a black male with a stocky build, wearing a camouflage jacket. But nearly 23 years later, no one know what he took from inside Jody’s car.

He took off South on York Road in a white BMW.

Carrieri hopes this new billboard will catch the right persons attention.

“Even if it’s just something little, somebody calling in. I mean, I think anything could help at this point,” she added.

Years after leads ran dry — maybe money will talk.

The billboard above York Road will stay for a few more weeks, but the reward will stand.

Jenny Carrieri is on a mission to find the murderer of her identical twin sister, Jody LeCornu. After many unanswered questions, for the first time in 23 years, she may be closer than ever with new evidence.

WNAV's Donna Cole is joined in the studio by Jenny Carrieri. Jenny and her identical twin, Jody LeCornu, grew up in Annapolis. At the age of 23, on a snowy day in March of 1996, Jody was murdered in Towson. The case remains unsolved and Jenny wants her sister's murderer found.

Dear Jody, 21 years have passed since you were taken from us. It is so hard to believe it has been that long. It feels like yesterday. Life has been so lonely without you.

I am fighting hard for your investigative file. We desperately want to know what happened to you. I will never give up.

I was thinking about out room that we shared growing up. Whenever I go visit mom, I sleep up there and have so many great memories :-) we had a lot of good times in that room. Spent many days with our friends- laughing, talking about boys, planning escapades, dancing -- enjoying life. Sometimes we misbehaved -i.e... smoking cigarettes and blowing the smoke out the window or sneaking out of the house at night. I remember fighting over the hairbrush a lot. And playing lots of music.

I remember in eighth grade when we hooked school and decided to have our first drink. We also decided to try to pierce our ears. Unfortunately, we weren't successful with that. But we were successful with getting caught. We had a lot of great times at Bates middle school. People still send me messages about you and share memories.

And St. Mary's, I remember our first day of school and our uniforms and how long and dorky our skirts were. We finally caught on that it was cool to wear them short :-) so we would roll them up. I loved being there and sharing all those years with you. Although we went down the wrong path, we were still together, inseparable. I remember having such loneliness and sadness with my own struggle but I always knew I had you. Never imagined that we would ever be separated from each other. I was able to find my way out of the darkness and I hated to see you go deeper and suffer so much. You had such a beautiful soul and everyone loved you. We were all helpless as we watched your demons take you.

Featured February, 2017: In the early morning hours of March 2, 1996 Jody LeCornu was shot while sitting in her parked car. Despite video evidence, eye witness testimony, ballistic evidence and fingerprints, no one has ever been arrested or charged in her death.

Dear Jody, I have been going through a lot of pictures at mom's house. It has made me so happy to look through and find the ones of us. Every single one of them, we are dressed alike and some I cannot tell us apart.

I think about how simple life was when we were growing up. How we were always together- always had the same room, same classes and same friends -makes me feel so good inside to think about these memories.

One of my favorite times growing up was Christmas. I remember how dad made it so special. It wasn't even just about the gifts it was about all the family time. I remember how the week before Christmas we would sit around the fireplace every night and dad would read "A Christmas Carol" to us by Charles dickens. As we got older, we wished we were somewhere else. But when I look back now, they were such wonderful memories with all the family together.Having Nana there and all the cooking that mom would do. I feel I can still smell it. And Christmas morning how excited we were and dad would drag the gift opening for hours because he didn't want it to end.

I miss you so much :-) I always try to imagine that you are still with me-You and dad. And, hopefully you are both together.
